Sydney is one of the world’s most beautiful cities but let’s be honest - it’s expensive! Luckily for locals and thrifty visitors there are cafes, eateries, bars and taquerias hiding all over the city that serve delicious cheap eats.
To help you keep your bank account and belly full we’ve rounded up the best cheap eats restaurants in The Rocks.
Aslan Coffee: Bacon & egg roll
Aslan imports beans from the Indonesian Archipelago and roasts them in-house to create a serious cup of coffee. Their saucy, salty bacon & egg roll is stuffed with crispy rashers and oozy egg - it’s the perfect caffeine accompaniment for just $8.50.
El Camino Cantina: 10 cent wing Wednesday
The mango margaritas at El Camino Cantina are a must-try but if the bank balance is a little low there are much more affordable options.
Drop in on Wednesday and you’ll get 20 wings for just $2 with the purchase of a soft drink or alcoholic beverage.
P’Nut Street Noodles: Chicken Naughty Boxes
P’Nut serve delicious, hot, Asian fusion food including noodles, fried rice and Thai curries. You could feed a family of four to five with their $59.95 family time feast but our favourites by far are their deliciously fried chicken naughty boxes for $10.
